WHY GO

Italian comfort fare housed in a bright venue with floor-toceiling windows, and a choice of indoor and outdoor dining. The middle section boasts a panoramic view of the sea and infinity pool. It is mere steps away from the beach.

TATLER TIPS

• Start with the vitello tonnato alla Piedmontese, served slightly chilled with hints of tuna flavouring on a bed of greens.

• With the generally all-around sunny weather in Cebu, cool down with a tomato-based tajarin al ragu di agnello—thick ribbons of hand-made pasta generously coated with puréed sun-dried tomatoes and minced lamb, topped with

pecorino shavings.

• The restaurant’s take on Florentine steak, Fiorentine di Angus patate arrosto mostarda, is big enough for sharing. Ask for rare as is typical, but medium to medium-rare works as well, to get the meat’s full flavour.
